slow acceleration
I cant figure out why my inital acceleration is slow even when I slam on the gas it dosent accelerate quick. Is it because I have a 4 cylinder?<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0">

think so. my brother's truck is a 4.9 I6 and it's the same way, in fact you have to slam it to get somewhat normal accelleration. i though maybe the throttle cable wasnt pulling all the way open, but nope, its just slow<IMG src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0">. </P>
(kinda off topic, but still, i think unless you have a V8 or are modded to s**t you really arent just gonna fly off the line.)</P>

bout the only thing I can think of that is worth the time and money is a set of gears. Go with something like a 3.73, and you will accelerate like you have a v8 in 1st and 2nd gear, and give you overall alot more performance.</P>
